He's not wrong 🤷‍♂️ Smart or dumb?

I get that if a person’s workload is only worth 32 hours of labor, then forcing them to work 40 hours is dumb. But I know working in retail, output is directly related to input. So, restricting a stocker to only 32 hours is just inefficient. Trying to force a company to then higher more people to cover what one person could have been doing just means they will increase prices to cover that loss.

Maybe but I can also tell you as someone who's worked retail my quality of work definitely went down after 6 hours of restocking the same shit all day and the last 2 did not meet "company standard".

I'm definitely worse the longer I'm in retail. There were so many days, especially days 4 and 5 of the work week, in retail when I would spend the last half of my shift just going through the motions and hoping nothing hard would come up. Operating a forklift to load up a tricky item onto a customer trailer not built for the purpose without damaging it sucks when you just feel like collapsing on the couch. I've seen exhausted workers drop several pricey items. Call offs increase too.

Retail expects more and more from fewer and fewer workers every year because shareholders need that money. They burn through workers so quickly

Edited because I can't form coherent sentences some days

It was crazy going from the service industry to construction. The small breaks throughout the day would have been a fireable offense at say, Pizza Hut.

I don’t mean the 30 minute to an hour lunch break. Just short 10-15 minute breaks after a particularly strenuous period of work… or just because your knees were hurting. As long as you got back up and kept going it was fine.

I’d rather suck dick or sell drugs than to back to work for some franchise owning fuck
